the Calhoun papers.
Author of These Paper's Seeking for
Infom.-ation AJjoul: the Great
? tatesman,
Prom Managing Editor J. Frank rrn
Jameson of The American Historiacl
Review, Providence, R. I., who is getting
up the volume of Calhoun papers,
Col. Joseph Daniel Pope has received
the following letter giving informatio
as to the forthcoming volume.
Dear Sir: I remember with gratitude
that by your kindness I was placed in
communication with Mrs. J. E. Bacon,
who adc ed much to the value of the
forthcoming Calhoun volume by lending
me tne letters of Calhoun to Gov!
ernor Pickens. She wrote me at the
same time that she had the correspon[
dence that passed between Governor
I Pickens and Governor Haynes at th;>
| time of the Nullification controversy,
j but I kept them in mind ns something
I which I could use in the section devoi
ted to "Documents" of the American
Historical Review. I am planning for
our April (or po-:sibly for that of July)
number a collection of letters upon the
, Nullification controversy and period.
Mr. Edward Spann Hammond.of Bl.acl:~
~ * ..i!,,
j VillC, 15. U., WHO uic3 >tij iuiuui/.V
, aid for the Calhoun volume, baa given
1 me some materiil and has promised me
1 more for this present purpose. Fro:n
another source I l ave some interesting
letters of Dr. Thomas Cooper, and some
correspondence of Nathaniel Macon
with Jackson respecting the matter. 1
should, however, value most of all the
papers of which Mrs. Bicon spoke, ar.d
accordingly I have twice written her,
addressing her at 1328 Blanding street,
; Columbia, and at Tryon, Polk county.
N. C.?the two addresses mentioned In
her letters. But I have received no
reply, and therefore I beg leave to ask
your aid if you can tell me what her
correct address is. I take pleasure in
instructing our publishers to send you
a copy of the October number of The
I Review, by which you may see our
mode of dealing with documents. Perhaps
you know of other letters of the
neriod which would aid the design I
! have in view. They would be very
| welcome, though I do cot contemplato
J anything like so extensive a pnblicaj
lion as that embodied in the Calhoun
volume, which, by the way, though a
little delayed in the government bindery,
is to be expected before long. For
any aid which you may be so kind as
to render I shall be extremely obliged,
Phosphate Royalty.
The forthcoming annual report of
the State Phosphate commissioner, Col.
S. W .Vance, will contain considerable
statistical and other Information about
both the phosphate Industry and the
fertilizer business.
A general statement will i>e presented,
for Instance, showing the amount
of royalty received by yf.ar from the
phosphate mining on the coast, since
the State opened the bo is. This will
show that the royalty be State has received
from crude rock has reached the
enormous sum of 13,241,402,06. The
smallest amount of royalty paid in any
1 one year was in 1870, . when it was
$1,989.;>U. Miic largest amuum iete??cu
was in 1887?$237,150. Since then
there has been a considerable decline
ovlng to the necessity of reducing the
ropalty po:- ton end to the rapiuly developing
competition as new deposits
are discovered and opened up in other
countries. The royalty this year will
be les3 than last.
The report will also show the development
of the fertilizer business in a
forcible manner. From the time tne
privilego tax on fertilizers was provided
for this tax has yielded the State
$760,696.18. The smallest amount received
in any one year was in 1S87, the
total for that year being $24,246.56.
The largest amount received has been
during the year 1900 jUit closed, it being
$73, 589.34, showing the great
quantity of fertilizers the farmers of
thia Start a are now using.

The Earliest Coins.
A banker writes as follows to the
London Globe: "I venture to suggest
that coins were in current use long before
7<K? H. <*.. for it is recorded that
Abraham paid for the tomb of Mnehpolah
"four hundred shekels of silver
current with the merchant.* And as
Abraham was born about two .rears
after the death of Noah, we may fairly
n?iiiiic that coinage was in use beioiv
the Flood."
